Gross

[FindingMe]

I had to try this
I did it a few times while I was taking a shower
I thought I would be sick, but it wasnt that bad
I cant say it worked or not
I didnt do it long enough
sandi

[Sherrie]

I might even try it too sometime if I can work up the courage LOL

[jojoamethyst]

anyway better have a shower - leaving in half an hour to go to perth

[FindingMe]

i used cocconut oil
almost tasteless

wasnt too bad really
sandi

Sounds interesting, don't know if I'm game, definitely a shower time activity if at all...

[luv2bslim]

LOL..it'd certainly reduce your appetite....yuk...

[Prothvar]

It does sound pretty gross - I dont know if I could keep it in there that long without yakking :eek:

This is part of ayurveda the Indian natural medicine system.

[Sherrie]

I had never heard of it until someone mentioned it in the fascination thread of all places LOL

[Moonie]

Can't see how it works, or be a benefit for anything else other than what's in the mouth..I thought when first reading that mixing it with the saliva would do something when swallowed, but seeing you have to spit it, and your saliva out, how can it help you metabolism...

Of course I will probably try it now just to see what it is like :D
won't be much swishing between my teeth though as I have dentures :D

Now theres a thought maybe it will rot or melt my dentures:(:(

[Sherrie]

How will oil melt your dentures?

[Moonie]

How will oil melt your dentures?LOL!! I don't know, but it says not to swallow because it becomes toxic, so anything could happen...

[Sherrie]

I'd imagine you'd do it without your dentures in anyway?

[Moonie]

LOL!!! what a sight that would make, the mind boggles!!!!
